Arguments

model.url

A URL for a model on the GrADS - DODS system, probably returned by GetDODSDates.

Details

This function determines which dates are available for download for a particular model through the GrADS - DODS system. Once the user determines which dates are available, the output of this function can be passed to GetDODSModelRuns to determine which model runs can be downloaded.

Value

model.run	A list of model runs available for the requested date.
model.run.info	Information provided by the GrADS - DODS system about each model run.
